The new CORE-S modules are fully compatible with the MATRIX (imaging) and LUXELL (linear) FPA, have a USB interface and are the optimum solution for the development of low cost solutions based on uncooled MWIR detectors for multiple applications

Madrid, Spain (PRWEB)September 19, 2012

New Infrared Technologies, the world leader manufacturer of uncooled MWIR imaging FPAs, complements the MATRIX 1024 and the LUXELL SERIES with the new CORE-S module which represents a low-cost electronic solution for the uncooled imaging and linear arrays, mainly oriented for integration. The module incorporates the FPA (in uncooled operation; TEC integration is also possible) and the A/D stage that includes the intelligent dark current subtraction module to avoid the use of a mechanical chopper.

The system allows a maximum acquisition speed of 100 images per second for the MATRIX 1024 FPA, and a maximum of 1,200 lines per second for the scanning system based on the 64-pixel LUXELL FPA (600 lps for the 128-px FPA, and 300 lps for the 256-px FPA). The integration time can be also set in a range between 2 us and 100 us. The module is controlled and transmits the raw data (14 bit) via a USB interface using the NIT SOFTWARE SUITE provided.

The new CORE-S modules have multiple applications in the industrial market: manufacturing process control, quality inspection, gas and fire detection, among others. Other applications in specific industries include the laser industry for beam profiling with lasers in the 1 - 5 microns range, and glass container manufacturing industry for high-speed quality and count control. A specific version for spectroscopy measurements between 3.0 and 4.6 microns is available.

The new CORE-S modules will be on-tour in the next events:

ILOPE exhibition (The 17th International Laser, Optoelectronics and Photonics Exhibition) to be held in Beijing, China, at the China International Exhibition Center, from October 16th to October 18th, 2012

SPIE Photonics West 2013 to be held in San Francisco, CA (USA) at the Moscone Center, from February 5th to February 7th, 2013
